Struggling with Financial Prosperity, and Son’s Fear of Darkness
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Sarah, who’s been struggling a long time trying to achieve financial prosperity, but without success. Most of my adult life it seems I’ve had difficulty getting to a place where I’m not struggling to pay my bills on time. This may be from a mindset I adopted as a child where thriftiness was valued. Both my parents, particularly my Mom, grew up in poor families and I think I learned life would be financially difficult.
I’ve enjoyed being creative and making things with my hands in the past. I thought maybe I could supplement my income by selling some type of handmade item, but lately my creativity seems blocked. And I don’t want to be so busy trying to make things to sell that I’m unable to spend time with my children.
The Council suggests it’s good to get creative and use more of your time to make things with your hands to sell. What gets in your way is a deep belief that things will be difficult and money will be scarce.
Find an hour or two each day to create things with your hands. As you create, think the thought that you are making something with love. Prosperity is love. What I create will bring joy to others. As you work it’s very important to have positive thoughts like these.
In the beginning you can give away some of what you’re creating, but do you go around to different retailers and show what you’ve done and see if there’s an interest? These steps must be taken.
There’s a lot of worry about lack of finances that get in your way. Meditate or pray that things will turn around. Focus on the good you’ve created. When you concentrate on love and positive thoughts you’ll allow more of what you want to come into your reality. Everything is currently coming from your belief that finances are difficult right now and this belief is holding up your prosperity.
Learning to meditate is a good idea. The easiest way would be for you to sit for 5-10 minutes a day and focus on your heart chakra. Just see the color green in the center of your chest and that green becoming larger and larger, spreading across and beyond your body several inches. This will change your energy and vibration and open up more doors to increasing your finances.
Picture in great detail what your life would be like if you had all the money you desired. Feel what it will be like to be creative and have the things you create bring in financial abundance. Imagine things the way you’d like them to be every day.
On a different subject Sarah says her teenage son doesn’t like being separated from our family when he goes to bed at night. Since he was young he doesn’t like his bedroom door closed and he prefers to have someone in his room as he goes to sleep. Sarah asks if there’s a reason for this and how can she help him deal with this situation?
The Council sees a past life back in the Fourth Dynasty in Egypt where your son was a young man training to be a high priest. There were several initiations that he needed to go through. One of these initiations was to be enclosed in a sarcophagus overnight. Unfortunately your son wasn’t able to handle the energy he experienced when he was in this sarcophagus and he died inside it.
That fear of the dark has come with him in his current lifetime. By having someone in the room with him he realizes he’s not alone and he believes he’s able to be rescued if something goes wrong like it did in that life in ancient Egypt. When you feel he’s able to understand you can tell your son a story about high priest training in Ancient Egypt and ask him to imagine what it would be like to spend the night in a sarcophagus, but there is someone to let him out if necessary. This feeling of safety will help him heal this fear in his current lifetime.
The Council also suggests asking your son about you leaving his room for around two minutes when he’s going to sleep and then coming back in. After a couple days you can begin to increase the time to three minutes and so on until the feeling of safety comes back to him and he can go to sleep on his own.
Listen to the entire audio recording of our 9-minute session with The Council to hear all their guidance for Sarah and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask your own question.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

Hi! I have a question for the council about love and finding my soulmate. I’m in my mid-twenties and have always dreamed of finding my Prince Charming since I was a little girl. I have learned so many lessons in this lifetime and I’ve found unconditional love with members of my family who I had previously not gotten along with. I have dated a number of men, but we’ve never shared that soul connection and I’ve never been in love. I want to experience the feeling of being in love with someone and finding my soulmate (the male version). Recently, my mom has rekindled an old friendship with a childhood friend she hasn’t seen in over 40 years. He connected my mom to a friend of his who has a son my age. It just so happens the son lives near me. The father said the son agreed to this. After giving it a lot of consideration, the son seems perfect on paper. It has been over a week and I still have not heard from him. I understand that things are crazy in the world right now with the pandemic, but I’m left wondering 9 days later if I should hold out hope or if the son wont ever be contacting me and if I should just move on? Dating is really hard these days because of hookup culture and online dating apps, while I participate in neither. I don’t want to be 40 when I finally find “the one.” What is the council’s opinion on all of this? Thank you so much.

Hi, LilyDaisy. When we have time we’ll be happy to ask The Council about what you have come to call dissociation and we’ll post an audio recording of their response as soon as it’s ready. Love and light, Bob & Cynthia

Loved this answer from The Council, as I too am supplementing my income with handmade things. Great advice.
I have a question about what I have come to call dissociation, although I don’t believe that is an entirely accurate description of what I experience.
When I was a kid I would sometimes look into the mirror and it was like a switch was flipped and my consciousness would be inexplicably different. When I was that young it would scare me very much and I would try to stop it. It lasted seconds at most. When I got older I could look in the mirror and induce it. In early adulthood a similar feeling would happen without a mirror present, along with the spontaneous, vague visualization of seeing myself in a field. At this point I craved it, and I tried to bring it about more, often by looking into the mirror.
Since then it has grown to be my waking state nearly all, if not 100% of the time. I don’t remember how or when this happened. I will see my name on paper and not relate to it, I look at my husband I know him and love him, but don’t necessarily recognize him. It all makes me laugh and I suppose it could be scary but I just go with it. That’s only a small sampling of how it manifests. No matter how I try to describe this, as soon as I do, I feel it is inaccurate. It’s like being on drugs 24/7.
Could The Council help me understand what’s going on here, or give me some terms, etc. that I could further research? Thank you so much as always.
